Hi Phillipus, I have a laptop running debian unstable with a Gforce GX chipset in it. Here are the packages ive got installed (note im running unstable, pretty sure there isnt much difference between that and testing)
bash-2.05b$ dpkg -l |grep nvidia ii nvidia-glx 1.0.4496-8 NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x driver ii nvidia-kernel- 1.0.4496-5 NVIDIA binary kernel module for Linux 2.4.22 ii nvidia-kernel- 1.0.4496-3 NVIDIA binary kernel module common files ii nvidia-kernel- 1.0.4496-8 NVIDIA binary kernel module source I also get deb-src's, so perhaps the other modules are in there, add 'deb-src ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian testing main non-free contrib' to your sources.list and see if you get the additional packages under dselect/apt. I used the instructions from http://channel.debian.de/faq/ch-confighw.html#s-nvidia to get it up and running, it's in german, but shell commands dont care about that ;) You have to build the package yourself and then install it as a module for your specific kernel version. Good Luck! Cheers, Shane. On Tue, 2004-01-13 at 21:12, Phillipus Gunawan wrote: > G'day, > > I had a GeForce MX 2 64 mb and trying to make it work > under my debian box.
